sortand Load the clothes

Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are

sorted correctly for washing, they’re sorted correctly for drying. See the

How to Sort the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of fabrics in

your load, set the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and remove when

dry. Reset controls for the remaining heavier fabrics.

Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling couldescape.

DRY ONLY ONE PILLOW ATATIME. Set dryer for maximum time. Stop

dryer occasionally and shakepillow to redistribute filling for more even drying.

Check pillow at end of drying time—if not completely dry,return pillow to dryer

and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried

completely to prevent mildew.DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing kapok.

Put 2or 4dry towels into thedryer; tumble dry for 5minutes. Set timer for

20-25 minutes. DO NOT set control for more than 25 minutes. DRY ONLY

ONE BLANKET AT ATIME. Remove blanket at the end of the cycle and

block the blanket back to its original shape. Allow to dry thoroughly

before storing.

First setting—20 minutes; check and redistributeload. Then set timer for

15minutes; check load again. Reset timer at 5minute intervals, checking

after each 5minutes to make sure that the articles do not fill the dryer drum:

many large articles, when wet, have ample room in the dryer, but as they

dry and fluff Lip,they may not have room to tumble. CAUTION: If large

items do not have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked, which

could result in scorching your valuable items. NOTE: Mattress covers/pads

should be dried alone.
